Thirty years of Italian design on display at Munich museum

One of the really great figures of design - Alessandro Mendini - is curating and designing a retrospective of the last 30 years of Italian design specially for Die Neue Sammlung (New Collection) museum in Munich, Germany.

Alessandro Mendini focuses his exhibition on a key player in the design world - The Alessi company - which has very successfully morphed from a small metal-working firm into a creative factory in the field of design with global operations.

Not only with its products but above all through its influential ideas, actions and meta projects, Alessi wrote European design history and provided inspiration for reflections on the future of design. The exhibition is titled Oggetti e Progetti and runs until September 19.
